Well, you don't want the Khaddies to bloody well outshine the Viktorians in putting units out there, after all, they are not refined, nor Gentlemanly fighters, they are rough and brutal collectivists!

oh definitely paint that medic!

Khadrovian manufactorums are cranking out tanks one per 40hrs and sending them straight out to fight, right off the assembly line!

Tank chassis rolls on lines, gang of welders and riveters go at it, as well as wiring techs and installers of engines/optics, etc.

I like the idea of one "multi-purpose" arm with different attachments!

And maybe just a spotlight on a smaller arm for the "operating lights"?

And who says robots don't bleed? I think some hydraulic fluids turn blood red when it is old and used! ( I don't know enough about them to say that all are, anyone know for sure?)
You could have a couple spatters of "arterial" red, mixed with a bit of brown, kind of streaked down the front of the "medic" like it's very oily!

I believe they add dye to help distinguish the different oil types, also to help detect leaks.

No, it is not something you would want to try. I worked with a hydaulic powered tractor/robot one year on a road crew. You'd be chugging along and all of a sudden it was raining this greasy, oily stuff that would take days to get the taste out of your mouth! Yuck! But that stuff was a clear yellowish color, hence why I didn't think all of them were red. Adding dye would have helped on the robot I worked with. When it was raining already, it might take 10 minutes to realize why the robot was going off track! Of course, the fact that your rain coat was shedding water like a duck helped, but you don't always look at your rain coat at 3 in the morning.

Anyway, I think having hydraulic fluid or just plain oil running down the medic robot's front would look good!

that pouring guy looks almost like steve buscemi to me...then i guess that stuff is something nasty^^

and yep... for this build i either use stuff and deform it, or use rawmaterials like styrene and PC... i want to try to get everything done without adding bitz... so scratchbuilt searchlight is coming tomorrow on the to do list... and i think i go for shouldermounted one...

by the way...added arms....:





the right arm currently is missing a digit...and also i have thought about leaving it free...so that it better shows the ability to grab new tools from the rack...

the left arm has a giant buzzsaw...well actually it is just a big cog from an old rewinder toy...chopped and mounted...


and till the painting begins i have to poner about that speckled front of medich...we´ll see about that...


cheers, vik
